My mini review of Parx. This is coming from a regular 5/10 Borgata player. I played Saturday into Sunday morning.
I am not as impressed as many seem to be with the new room. But my complaints in the long run aren't really important as I know this room will quickly turn into Borgata West. My complaints are the following, I know many of them have been stated before:
1) Lighting
2) Speaker volume
3) Some bad dealers (they will get better, I know)
4) Men's room shouldn't have a door, and it should be a wider space so one person can enter and one person can exit at the same time without banging into each other (it was an adventure for me to enter and exit)
5) Location of the room will not attract random casino players as easily (but I understand some table games will be on the first floor?)
6) If checked on river, first person out of position instead of last aggressor has to show the hand first rule I don't like
7) Although there are a lot of TVs, I could only see one of them at a time from where I was sitting

By 1245 they had worked though the whole 2-5 list and had open seating. I saw way softer play on the 5-10 table I sat than any of the 2-5 tables I played at, wish I was rolled for 5-10!
I was at the 5/10 game from when it started until 4:30 AM Sunday. When it started it wasn't a good game, but eventually the action players came and it was very good. More action than the 2/5 game I had played in earlier in the day, which was a nitfest (I was more used to another PA casino's 2/5 game where a raise would bring six callers).
Question, if I don't want to eat in the racetrack building, what are good options to eat a decent meal in the main casino building, or is there somewhere local I could drive to that is good and reasonable? I went to Chickie's and Pete's in the main casino building. I guess I have been spoiled by the Borgata's excellent dining choices.
